'Doom And Gloom' marks the first time that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have been in the studio together for seven years. The single was recorded in Paris and produced by longtime Rolling Stones producer Don Was, who has worked with the band on five previous albums (Voodoo Lounge/ Stripped/ Bridges To Babylon/ Licks Live/ A Bigger Bang), with the radio mix produced by Jeff Bhasker.

I had a dream last nightI was piloting a planeAnd all the passengers were drunk and insaneI crash landed in a Louisiana swampShot up a horde of zombiesBut I come out on topWhat's it all about?Guess it just reflects my moodSitting in the dirtFeeling kind of hurt

All I hear is doom and gloomAll is darkness in my roomAnd through the light your face I seeBaby take a chanceBaby won't you dance with me

Lost all the treasure in an overseas warIt just goes to show you don't get what you pay forBattle to the rich and you worry about the poorPut my feet up on the couchAnd lock all the doorsWhats that funky noise?It's the tightening of the screwsSitting in the dirtFeeling kind of hurt
